Two Melbourne mums have been jailed for their “vicious” drunken bashing of a paramedic who was left with a broken foot and unable to return to work. Amanda Warren, 31, and Caris Underwood, 20, punched and kicked experienced ambulance worker Paul Judd as he and another paramedic tried to treat a patient at suburban Reservoir in April 2016. Mr Judd has needed three operations on his broken foot and has not been able to work since the attack, although he is determined to return. Warren and Underwood were both jailed in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday after they pleaded guilty to intentionally causing injury. After considering new laws for attacks on emergency workers, the magistrate jailed Warren for eight months and Underwood for four months.
